The FAs are trained to
wait for the flight deck to give the evacuate command, unless there is imminent danger (ie the plane is on fire). Seeing how the airframe is intact, nothing is flaming and there was no evacuate command, it's a pretty reasonable thing to say.
You can hear a second announcement from someone (pilot?) that says "Please remain seated." The ATC tape I heard had the fire department telling the pilots to wait to evacuate until they sprayed the nose down.
